WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,074, dated February 12, 1895.

Application filed May 19, 1894. Serial No. 511,799. (No model.)

.To all whom z'maycocern:

Be it known that I, LEvIN H. MULLIKIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trappe, county of Talbot, and State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windows, of which the following specification contains a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof, in which- Figure l, is a perspective ot' part ot' a window with my improvements applied. Fig. 2,

is a side elevation'of part of the frame. Fig. 3, is a section on line 3*?) of Fig. 2. Fig. 4, is a similar View on line 4 4 0E Fig. 2. Fig. f

5, is a face view of the combined pull and bolt, and Fig. 6, is a perspective of there movable section of the parting bead.

The invention relates to that class of'windows in which the weight box is provided with a hinged section adapted to be swung into the weight box and thus open the inner sash way to permit of the corresponding edge of the sash being pushed into the weight box a sufcient distance to remove its opposite edge away from the inner bead and thus allow of the ready removal of the sash. Heretofore this hinged section had secured to it the lower section of the parting bead so that when this hinged section or door was swung inwardly, the parting bead at its upper end would strike against the window sash unless the sash was cut away to a considerable extent, or the bead made yielding at this point.

The object of my invention is to avoid the disadvantages of permanently securing the parting bead to the hinged sectionor door by making them separate one from the other, causing said hinged section or door when closed to removably clamp the said parting bead section in place, and permit of its ready removal when the upper sash is to be removed.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

A, represents an ordinary window frame to which my improvements are applied.

B, B are the upper and lower sliding sashes.

C, C are the inner and outer beads, and D is the parting bead by which the space between the beads C, C is converted into the two sash ways.

E; E, are the weight boxes at opposite sides of the frame, only one being shown in the drawings. f

In the wall of one of the inner sash Ways is formed an opening F, which extends from a point just above the top of the lower sash down to the bottom, and this opening extends in width from the inner edge of the bead C to the outer edge of the parting bead D; the parting bead being divided on a bevel atthe top of said opening F. The upper section d, of the bead D, is'permanently secured in the usual manner, but its lower section d is entirely separate from the frame so as to be readily removed and inserted.

G, is la door closing the opening F and hinged on its inner side at its outer edge so as to swing into the weight box and permit the weights to be applied, removed or adjusted, and also to permit the edge of the sashes t0 be pushed into the weight box when they are to be removed as is clearlyshown in Fig. 4.

The outer face koi" the hinged edge of the door G' is formed with a dove-tail rabbet g, and thus the outer wall of the door opening `F and the walls of the dove-tail form a groove to receive the lower parting bead section d and clamp it rmly in place; the said section being shaped to correspond with the dovetail rabbet g. By thus dove-tailing or' other- -wise separably interlocking thedoor G and the bead section d the latter cannot be removed from the outside of the window, and yet may be readily removed when necessary.

H, represents a combined door pull land bolt, the case H otwhich is let into a recess flush with the outer face of the door, two of these devices being preferably employed; one for each end of the door to prevent warping or sagging.

The case is provided across its upper .end

with a boltsocket h open at both ends and intersected through the outer face of the case by the ["lshaped slot It the vertical members h2 h3 of which at their lower ends open into a depression h4 iii-the outer'face of the casing.

H2 is the double ended bolt sliding in the socket h, and adapted to enter a recess a in the inner wall of the door opening F. It may be used as a rightor left hand bolt.

H3 is a ring-pull lying in the depression h2 and providedwith a short shank h5 secured to the middle of the bolt and working in the slot h'.

. The operation is as followsz-To remove the lower sash it is simply necessary to raise it high enough to expose the two bolts. Then grasp the rings H3 and swing them upward and move them outwardly to retract the bolts which will cause the shank h5 to enter the outwardly extending horizontal branches of the slot h and then the pulls may be swung down into the depression if desired through the members h3 of the slots after the bolts have been retracted. After the door has been swung into the weight box, the bead section will remain in its original position between the two sashes until the inner or lower sash has been removed, and if the upper sash is to be removed it is lowered and the bead section d will be lifted out to permit the said outer or upper sash to be removed in like manner to the other sash.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

l. Awindow frame provided with a door swinging into the weight box to permit removal of the sash, a groove beingr formed between the hinged edge of the door and its opening, and a sectional parting bead, the lower section of which is mounted in said groove separate and independent from said door and frame, and clamped removably in place by the hinged edge of the door when closed, substantially as herein described.

2. A window frame provided with a door in its inner sash way hinged to swing into the weight box and formed with an undercut or dove-tail rabbet in its outer face at its hinged edge to form a groove in connection With the adjacent wall of the door opening, and a parting bead section shaped to tit said groove, separate and independent of the frame and door, and clamped removably in place by the hinged edge of the door when closed, substantially as herein described.

3. A window frame provided with a door in its inner sash way hinged to swing into the weight box; an undercut or dove-tail groove being formed between the hinged edge of the door and the adjacent wall of the door opening, a combined door pull and bolt secured to the door Hush with the face thereof and a separate and independent parting bead section clamped removably in said groove, and shaped to correspond therewith, substantially as herein described.

4. The combination with the window frame provided in its inner sash way with a hinged door to swing into the weight box when the sash is to be removed, and a lower removable parting bead section, of a combined door pull and bolt comprising a casing let into the door Hush with the face, and formed with a transverse bolt opening, a |'"|-shaped slot intersecting said opening, a circular depression into which the lower ends of the vertical members of said slot open, a bolt sliding in said opening, and a pull lying in the said depression and provided with a shank working in said slot and connected with the bolt; substantially as herein described.
